Fortnite Crashing PC [Methods to fix]

Here are a few methods that can help you fix the Fortnite crashing issue. You don’t have to try them all; just start with the first solution and work your way down the list to see which one works for you.

Fix #1 – Tone Down your Graphics Settings

It’s possible that your game settings are set to High that are causing the issue, so try lowering those settings. You can test with lower resolution and effects to see if that fixes Fortnite crashes on PC.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to your Fortnite Settings, then click Video Settings.

2. Check the following graphics settings and adjust them respectively:

  • Display Resolution: set to the same resolution as the resolution of your display in your computer
  • Quality: low or medium
  • View Distance: medium or far
  • Shadows: off
  • Anti-Aliasing: off
  • Textures: low
  • Effects: low
  • Show FPS: On

3. Save your settings and restart your computer to see if your Fortnite runs properly.

Fix #2 – Avoid CPU Overclocking

Higher clockspeeds can impact your game stability. If you have overclocked your processorand then your Fortnite crashes, you should set your CPU clock speeds back tothe default. If this fixed the issue, then well and good; otherwise move on tothe next step.

Fix #3 – Update your GPU Drivers

Often timeswhen a game crashes the main culprit behind this is your graphics card drivers.You may be using a wrong device driver or it’s out of date which causes thegame to crash.

The processof updating your driver is simple: go to your graphics card manufacturer’swebsite, find the latest driver and make sure it’s compatible with your versionof the Windows variant. Download and install the driver, and then restart yoursystem for changes to take effect.

Fix #4 – Change your TdrLevel Registry Key

Anotherreason behind your game crashes is your TDR recovery level setting. TDR standsfor Timeout Detection and Recovery. It checks the status of your graphics cardand detects situation where your computer isn’t working properly. It thenre-initializes your graphics driver and resets your GPU.

In caseFortnite keeps crashing on your PC, you may want to change your TDR setting tosee if that helps. But before you do so, you should back up your registry in case things go awry. Here’s how to dothat:

  1. Press the Windows logo key + R on your keyboard to bring up the Run box.
  2. Type “regedit” and press Enter.
  3. Click File on the menu bar, then select Export.
  4. Select the location where you want to save the backup copy, then type a name in the file name box and click Save.

Now that youhave saved a backup copy for your registry, let’s change the TDR setting:

  1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlGraphicsDrivers.
  2. Right-click any empty space in the right pane, then hover over New and click QWORD (64-bit) Value.
  3. Name the new value “TdrValue”.
  4. Double-click TdrLevel. Make sure its value data is set to 0, then click OK.
  5. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.

Run Fortniteand see if you’ve fixed the crashing issue.

YourBattlEye anti-cheat service may also cause the game to crash at random times.If this is the case, you’ll have to reinstall it to fix the problem.
